r/Shed

I’m building an 8x8 base for a shed. I was asking AI to build me a material list that I would need. Again the form of the frame is 8x8. Planning to use plywood to out on top for the shed to sit on. AI is telling me to get 3 sheets of plywood and for the life of me this doesn’t make sense. On 4x8 sheet would cover half of the width and then the entire length of the platform. The second sheet would cover the second half. AI is continuing to tell me that no, there would still be a gap and I need to cut a third sheet into 4x4 pieces. Can I get a second human brain to tell me if I’m wrong cause I can’t seem to be able to hear it from this computer.

Went into the shed today and found this big black patch, clearly mold. Probably due to a leak.

Can I get away with reflecting the roof or must I replace the whole thing? I'd rather just felt it due to time and money.

When I press with a screwdriver the wood doesn't give way. After a night of rain it is noticeably damp.

Help! What is this shed? Need a replacement door. No stickers inside with model info. Inherited it on a property.

Reorganised my shed last week, had everything out and inspected the general state of the timber all round. It’s all good after the scare with the felt which has now been replaced with EPDM. No signs of wetting or rotting!

One thing I’ve noticed is the ceiling area is very hot with sun on it, due to the thermal properties of the rubber and it being black etc. I can feel the *heat* on the top of my head and it’s sweaty, very sweaty. But funnily I can bend my knees, come down 3-6 inches and the temperature is fine haha.

To do a mild low budget fix I’m thinking of putting up some OSB and venting the bottom end of each gap (at the back wall) to encourage airflow based on just the air being warmed up so it vents out at the front top end. Smoke already freely and pretty willingly runs up the roof boards and out the front vents. It’s an 11 degree angle so I think it’s steep enough to allow a heat rising based air movement.

I’m aware this is not proper insulation, the title is a joke lol. It doesn’t need to be proper insulation either. Would this work do you think?

Decided to build a shed, used 4x4 instead of 2x4 studs. Hope ya like it.

Love this color combo! 🖤

Hey y’all! So I have this shed that I’d really like to renovate that’s just been rotting away for a while now. I’m not 100% sure how to go about it but I have a ton of pallets that I could use. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance

Hey y’all! I have some images of the inside of the shed. It doesn’t look nearly as bad as the outside and the floor is fine! A screwdriver does not go through the floor. After seeing both the inside and outside, what do y’all think?

(It wouldn’t let me edit the previous post and add images so I had to make another post) thanks yall!

I'm planning to get a new Ketel shed 9ft by 7ft. There is plenty of space on this Pentagon concrete surface. Do you think this is flat enough or should I make a wood frame surface on top of this?

we're rebuilding most of this 12x20 shed, replacing rotted/infested floor and studs but keeping the foundation frame and as much of the roof as possible. the ends of the gable are coming down for sure but we're at a loss for how to vent and seal it. we'll be insulating (with rockwool) and drywalling and the hope is to have a solar powered ceiling fan/light and a couple windows for some air.
no one can agree on if it's worth trying to make it an "attic" with storage space, or if insulated drywall between the rafters with exposed cross beams is better/easier. and there's contention on if we need powered vents or just a bigger version of the cheap stationary ones.

hope that makes sense and isn't too convoluted. we've done minor home repairs but we're noobs here. any help is appreciated, there's no such thing as over explaining.
